Eh. I stopped watching after part 2 anyway.

I saw an interview with the makers who said it would be the last but IF!! they made another they already had ideas. I think they will keep churning them out but i for one am quite happy about that although i do think part 4 was the weakest i still liked it.

Re: Final Destinaton 5

Not remotely interested. Just like with Saw, I have to ask why? We don't need anymore of these movies. Take that time, effort and money and put it into creating something new and original. I really liked the first one, but they have gotten progressively worse, with the fourth one being one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

Re: Final Destinaton 5

I thought the first one was passable. Really enjoyed part 2. But beyond that, it became obvious that the filmmakers cared less about making a good film than just having a good opening weekend. And like the Saw flicks, folks just keep going to see them despite knowing good and well they're not going to get any better.

You don't like Saw? Gasp

Where did I say that I dislike Saw? I didn't. I am merely asking what is the point of making the same movie over and over again. Sure, they have changed locations, characters and created cool new kills, but the basic plot has not changed for either the FD or Saw movies. And like I said, I would much rather see them expend their energy on creating new and original pieces in the horror genre, like both the original FD and Saw were at one time. But once the sequels started, all creativity and originality were throw out the window.

Re: Final Destinaton 5

I totally agree, Alien. I was a huge admirer of the first Saw flick (back when I used to be a review writer, it was one of the only horror flicks of the '00s I gave 4 stars to -- actually, 4 Cleavers, as was the rating system of the website I reviewed for ).

But as early as part 2 you could tell they were already running out of ideas.

Re: Final Destinaton 5

One thing I really liked about it was the fact that the screenwriter played second lead, plus the fact that they managed to land Dread Pirate Roberts himself, Cary Ellwes, to star. Personally I think it's one of the best performances Ellwes has ever delivered.

Re: Final Destinaton 5

There are a number of actors whose entire filmographies I am compelled to see, and Ellwes is one of them. I've seen everything the guy's done (even TV show appearances) aside from some stuff I simply haven't been able to find. I have to watch it, regardless of how little I want to.
